Bavalae page 12: layout (Patreon)

This is the first stage when I create a page! I start with laying out the page. This is basically me just figuring out where everything’s going to be so I can begin sketching. Example: panels, speech bubbles, and rough idea of poses. I’m basically thumbnailing the whole page. I also try to figure out a color scheme for the page too. It looks ugly, but its a very necessary step so I don’t go in blind!
